Pioneer Life

Most people opt for the easy life
go to the local supermarket for what they need
look no further than the end of their nose
stay local
be comforted by what's familiar
play safe
hedge your bets

this world is is inhabited with immigrants
incomers
go-getters
mostly despised
and hated
and ridiculed

Once we went bi-pedal
and walked out of Africa
we continued to
walk this planet

and now people continue to
take risks
to walk away from
what was home
to move location
to seek something new
and worthy and worthwhile

and all you
sitting there
watching the One Show on BBC
followed by East Enders
yeah
you with your remote control

supermarket at arms length

fill your petrol tank
down the road.

and bitch about this
and bitch about that

But you get out there
get out there
and hike the pioneer trail
Go on buddy
try it why don't you?

You probably don't have the balls!!!!!!!
